Never mind. Although I still don't know how to wrap functions properly in octave, it turns out that the above gcd example lead me astray, and _both_ the specific namespace (e.g., plplot_octave.plinit()) and dropped namespace (e.g., plinit()) are available with the swig-generated octave bindings so function wrapping is not required (for this purpose). Once I understood that accessing the dropped namespace was not an issue, two additional real issues had to be sorted out (revisions 11389 and 11390) and the result is x10c.m "just works" on Linux with the swig-generated interface. That good result fundamentally validates this whole idea. The current status is I am expanding the list of octave examples to be tested to include the few more beyond standard example 10 which do not use array arguments. Once those additional examples give good results on Linux, then I will try a wine test, and assuming that works, the next step is to introduce more typemaps dealing with arrays, etc., so that the tested examples can be expanded to the full list of both "x" and "p" octave examples.
